So i'll been a little too busy at work and as an activist (I think i'll post something about that later) and today I finally got some free time to post.

This days have been really hot and today I was (still am) craving for a cold, bubbly mimosa...
That mimosa got me thinking about Hunther S. Thompson (Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas) and his time at the Beverly Hills Hotel Back in the 70's.

Ofcourse, insted of mimosas he was drinking singapore slings, mezcal and LSD... but really who cares.. a morning drink is a morning drink, right?

This set is inspired by the coloros and vibe of the Beverly Hills Hotel specially at the 70's, a nice hot afternoon by the pool with not a care in the world.. and of course.. MIMOSAS.

As you know, Rick Genest, model, performer and muse if fully covered, (well about 80% of his body) covered in tattoos of intricate designs of a skeleton, skull and rotting body.
The challenge was tu use DERMABLEND makeup to cover his tattoos and show how Rick looked before Zombie Boy.

Here's the video, and some pictures.

I think the transformation is amazing, and about Dermablend makeup, I'm totally convinced, perhaps I purchase some, this days Mexico City is really hot, and mosquitoes are going crazy, my legs look like i just had the chicken pox... If that makeup fully covered Rick's tattooed body, I think it can hide my mosquito bites just as well.

For 10 days now, the London Design Museum is presenting iconic French shoe designer Christian Louboutin retrospective.

Louboutin’s exquisite shoes, with their instantly recognisable glossy red soles, are a unique fusion of fashion, craftsmanship, engineering and sculpture. This exhibition celebrates Louboutin’s career to date and showcases twenty years of designs and inspiration, revealing the artistry and theatricality of his shoe design from stilettos to lace-up boots, studded sneakers and bejewelled pumps. Louboutin’s shoes are the epitome of style, glamour, power, femininity and elegance.

We all love shoes. Don't we?
So being able to dive into Louboutin's shoe history is kind of a must in fashion. I live here the trailer of the exhibition, if you are in London or planning to go there the next two months you can't skip the opportunity to pay a visit to the wonderful, magical world of Louboutin.

A rock n roll I dont give a shit bride look of Irina Lazarenou for INDIE Magazine by Edouard Plongeon.
I liked this shoot a lot, it like "Yeah sure, lets get married, let me see what white shit I pull out of my all black closet"

The makeup style, iconic from former supermodel Twiggy by Maud Laceppe and a look resembling Paulene Stone and Whilemina Cooper in a glamourus white wardrobe by Alexander McQueen, Dior, Chanel and Givenchy styled by Diego Da Silva transport us to a relaxed and elegant afternoon in some 60's private club..
